Early the next morning, Machiku-gu Station.

Kiyomi Ruri said goodbye to her mother affectionately on the platform: "Mom, I can take care of myself now, you don't have to worry about me anymore, go with peace of mind!" ”

Kiyomi Kako is indeed relieved, her daughter has made great progress, she is still growing fat, and it is no problem to stay at home alone, so she can indeed rest assured to take care of and supervise her husband, use this time to care more about her younger daughter, and slide the bear child a few more times, which is what the eldest daughter said......

When she heard this, she thought that she was coming back to visit her relatives during Obon, and she was about to ride an eggplant back to Elysium, and her daughter was praying.

She is only thirty-four or thirty-five this year, she is young, and she feels that she can hold on for another eighty years, and she doesn't want to die for a while!

She stretched out her hand and gave her daughter a brain melon, punished her for saying goodbye, hugged her lovingly, combed the broken hair on her forehead, and earnestly advised: "Get along with Qiyuan-kun, don't fight with him." ”

- Nanahara Takeshi, this kid is good, has a good personality and a sense of responsibility, don't beat him away, if you really smash this stupid in your hands, it will be my headache.

Kiyomi Ruri didn't hear the subtext at all, just covered her head and said unhappily: "It's still a matter of saying, if I want to fight with him, I'll have beaten him flat." ”

"Just remember, then mom is gone, I'll take the time to come back to see you next time." The train enters the station, and Kako Kiyomi prepares to get on the train.

Kiyomi Ruri is a little reluctant, Kiyomi Kako has been praising her last night, the two of them are still taking a bath and sleeping together, the mother-daughter relationship is directly +200, that is, she died as soon as her head touched the pillow, and it didn't work out at night, and now I think about it a little regretful, but ......

Mom, you can't do surprise inspections too often!

She hurriedly shouted at the tram: "Mom, come back when Dad is healed, you don't have to smoke if you can't spare time, and it doesn't matter if you don't come back to see me." ”

Kako Kiyomi looked at her speechlessly through the car window, and was slowly pulled away by the train.

"Ah, it's dangerous!"

Kiyomi Ruri looked at the morning train in the distance, wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on her forehead, and felt that she had finally managed to get through this hurdle - her mother didn't realize that she had been involved in the case, nor did she find that she was collapsed into the hospital, let alone that she didn't find that Takeshi Nanahara was blind, which was really lucky.

Luckily, she only stayed for one night, and if she stayed two more days, it would have been over!

Mom, please, come back in five months!

She walked home with a relaxed look, began to hum and start her morning exercises, and when her stomach rumbled, she ran to Nanahara Takeshi, looked at the sticky notes on the refrigerator, tied up her apron and began to prepare for breakfast.

Nanahara Takeshi also got up quickly, washed up and came down to look at her, and gave some comments on breakfast making. Kiyomi Ruri didn't care either, and said while busy: "By the way, my mother was here before, so I didn't have time to tell you that Senior Sister Naokawa wants you to see Xiaokui again, let's go over after school this afternoon, right?" ”

Nanahara Takeshi leaned on the door frame and said absentmindedly: "Little Aoi?" ”

"Yes, she seems to be reluctant to give up her pile of ...... Well, clutter, refusing to change shogi. Kiyomi Ruri said directly, "Naokawa-senpai thinks she might listen to you." ”

Nanahara Takeshi thought about it, and had no opinion: "Little things, let's go for a trip that afternoon." ”

Kiyomi Ruri was relieved, carefully poured the egg juice into the pan to the omelet, and then asked curiously: "Xiaoaoi is also a genius, right, didn't you think about teaching her yourself?" ”

She thinks Naokawa Aoi is good, stupid, and looks easier to handle than Kadomaru Yuki's little ghost, and she must be willing to be held by her every day, and if Nanahara Takeshi has two little apprentices, then she will have two little nephews, and she may be able to get double respect.

It's a pity that Nanahara Takeshi didn't mean that, and said directly: "Forget it, although it's not impossible for me to teach her, but I'm not ready to develop in the direction of chess competition, and I don't know much about the latest research results in the shogi world, so it's better for her to find a professional teacher." ”

Then there is no way, Kiyomi Ruri is a little pity, but it can't be said to be too disappointed, and he turned his head and talked about last night's events again, he was full of interest, and he felt very happy with his mother, and he was also happy with Takeshi Nanahara, and life was very good.

…………

Waiting for the three of them to have breakfast - Kadomaru Yuki is also there, but the children are relatively sleepless, Nanahara Takeshi and Kiyomi Ruri didn't call her, she slept until breakfast was good and didn't get up.

After the three of them had breakfast, Takeshi Nanahara continued to recuperate at home and legally skipped school, while Ruri Kiyomi and Yuki Kadomaru ran to school, and when school ended in the afternoon, Ruri Kiyomi went home immediately, and took Takeshi Nanahara on a bicycle to find Yoshino Naokawa.

Yoshino Naokawa was out of the stall, but there was not a single customer in front of the food truck, and she was concentrating on reading, while Aoi Naokawa was crouching next to her and playing with "garbage" — at least to outsiders.

"Sister Naokawa, we're here." Kiyomi Ruri stopped the car, asked Nanahara Takeshi to come down, and greeted Naokawa Yoshino warmly.

"Nanahara-san, Kiyomi Senpai, it's great that you can come." Naokawa Yoshino got up in surprise, and Naokawa Aoi also raised his head and looked blankly at Nanahara Takeshi.

Nanahara Takeshi carefully looked at Naokawa Yoshino's expression through his sunglasses, confirmed that she didn't plan to stab her, and said politely with a smile: "Naokawa-senpai, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Nanahara." ”

Naokawa Yoshino covered her mouth and smiled shyly, and Nanahara Takeshi didn't be polite with her, just did business, went to Aoi Naokawa, squatted opposite her and whispered to her.

Naokawa Yoshino and Kiyomi Ruri didn't dare to disturb them, and consciously moved to the side, while Kiyomi Ruri looked at the recipe in Naokawa Yoshino's hand, and then looked at the fast food truck, and said cautiously: "Sister Naokawa, you ...... No longer going to school? ”

She originally thought that she would wait a little longer when she came, but Naokawa Yoshino came early, and it didn't seem to be a part-time job after school, which was different from what she guessed yesterday.

Naokawa Yoshino looked at his dumbfounded sister and smiled, "Yes, it's not on." ”

Theoretically, she can continue to finish the sophomore year of high school, after all, the tuition fees and the like have been paid, but after all, her mother is in prison, and her aunt can no longer provide for her to study, let alone support Aoi Naokawa to learn chess, and she may not even care about them when she eats, so she can only start to find ways to make money, take care of her sister, and strive to give her sister a good future.

Kiyomi Ruri can probably guess it, but she doesn't have much to do, she's a 16-year-old college JK, and she can't do anything about this kind of thing.

She quickly changed the topic, looked at the food truck and asked curiously: "What is the senior sister selling?" Is business okay? ”

"It's selling fast food, and it's also selling bento." Naokawa Yoshino has never done business either, and was a little embarrassed to be asked, so he wiped his hands and said, "I thought about looking for a job, but now the economy is sluggish, and it is not easy to find a job, and it just so happened that my aunt gave me a fast food truck, and I am willing to continue to be named, so I want to try to do a small business, and now it has just begun, and there are not too many customers." ”

As he spoke, Naokawa Yoshino also showed Kiyomi Ruri the dishes in the fast food truck, all of which were home-cooked side dishes, basically grabbing business with convenience stores and supermarkets, but compared to fast lunch, her meals here are hot, and she can freely match them, and if she wants to eat here, she can also provide hot soup, hot tea, seats, and shochu - this fast food truck was previously run by Yakuya Onko, and the business license was handled by her, and on the surface, it seems that Naokaya Yoshino is showing her a stall, so she can sell alcohol.

"That's it, Naokawa-senpai give her shogi, she doesn't need it now, she has to use it." While the two of them were chatting, Nanahara Takeshi came back with a bag of "garbage", leaving Aoi Naokawa squatting blankly in place with a piece of fruit candy in his hand, looking pitiful, innocent and helpless.

Naokawa Yoshino was stunned, he didn't expect it to be so fast, so he hurriedly went to take shogi and chessboard to his sister so that she could continue playing.

Nanahara Takeshi handed the bag of "garbage" to Ruri Kiyomi, and instructed with a smile: "Take it home and collect it, and when she becomes famous in the future, she will get titles such as the Throne of Women, Celebrities of Women, and Kurashiki Fujika, and even become a professional chess player, and then sell this bag of garbage to her at a high price - these bottle caps, cartons, and small stones are actually her good friends, and she will definitely spend a lot of money to redeem them." ”

Kiyomi Ruri looked at the bag of "garbage", and then at Nanahara Takeshi, his eyes were the same, they were all looking at garbage, and he said in disbelief: "You put Xiaokui's 'good friend'...... All deceived back? ”

Bastard, what kind of plane are you doing, I thought you would be careful to enlighten the child and be reasonable, how can you directly tie up the ticket?

Do you still have a minimum of humanity?

Nanahara Takeshi smiled very unconscionably: "What a lie, it's so ugly, I'm for her good, the old one doesn't go, how can the new one come?" ”

You're just a liar, and you're still thinking about selling for a high price in ten or eight years, and you should actually put you in a garbage bag.

At this point, Kiyomi Ruri couldn't help it, so she took the bag of "garbage" in her hand with a hidden fox face, and prepared to put it in her own warehouse for collection, and later returned it to Naokawa Aoi - if it's really like what Nanahara Takeshi said, when she grows up, she still wants this bag of garbage, no, if she still wants this bag of good friends, she will return it, and she won't take a penny.

Naokawa Aoi really can't help it, she just heard the "good friends" say in a voice like a mosquito ant that she wants to go to Nanahara Takeshi to further her studies and want to become a little more powerful. She respects the wishes of her good friends, and can only let them go with Takeshi Nanahara - she is stupid in real life, but she is not stupid, and she is sure that Takeshi Nanahara just kept his mouth shut and it was "good friends" who were talking.

Well, she is too young, her life is too closed, the amount of information is extremely insufficient, she doesn't know that there is a technique in the world called ventriloquism, and she can't understand the despicability of Nanahara Takeshi, so she directly lost all her belongings at once, and even the risk of being "blackmailed" in the future.

She was at a loss for a while, she could only accept the reality, and began to play shogi honestly and practically that others could understand, because "good friends" said that she hoped that she could solve more puzzles so that they could have more fun together in the future, and she still needed to keep practicing.

She will look forward to the day when she will be reunited with her "best friends".

Naokawa Yoshino breathed a sigh of relief, although she didn't understand how Takeshi Nanahara persuaded her sister to voluntarily hand over this bag of "garbage", but this is definitely better than snatching it directly, it is very likely to stimulate her sister, and now this is good.

She watched her sister play chess for a while, completely relieved, got up and returned to Nanahara Takeshi and Kiyomi Ruri, looked at Nanahara Takeshi and said sincerely: "Thank you, Nanahara...... Nanahara-kun. ”

He's really amazing, he's so blind and still so powerful......

Nanahara Takeshi smiled: "It's a trivial matter, Senior Sister Naokawa doesn't have to be polite, if Xiaokui has something, don't worry about causing trouble, call it again at any time...... It's good to see your classmates, it's okay now, so we'll go back first. ”

"Wait a minute." Naokawa Yoshino quickly went to serve a few good dishes in a bento box, and said embarrassedly, "I can't get a good thank you gift either, if you don't dislike it, please take it back and eat it!" If you like, please feel free to come by. ”

"Thank you." Nanahara Takeshi didn't refuse, smiling and motioning for Kiyomi to bring it up, even if the matter was over, the two of them went home.

Kiyomi Ruri rode a car and took him out of a distance, and when he looked back, he found that Naokawa Yoshino was squatting there and talking softly to Naokawa Aoi, and he had a feeling of dependence on each other, and couldn't help but ask Takeshi Nanahara, "Will they get better in the future?" ”

"It's hard to say." Nanahara Wu thought for a while and said with a smile, "It will be difficult for a while, and it will be good to survive the future, but it will not be able to survive...... The future is unclear. ”

"Can't you say for sure? I hope they're okay. Kiyomi Ruri has a strong sense of empathy, and seeing that Nanahara Takeshi can't give a positive answer, he sighed in disappointment, and can only silently bless them in his heart.

Or, if only I could do something for them.
